I'm super impressed by the goals feature. I still made this topic to list some of the things that I noticed and I would think would make it potentially more powerful. Not yet sure if they are needed, just list them as I go.

- Allow owners to be linked to some people that can view a specific list. That way you make it automatic

- Allow to import tasks within a certain due date range, ideal for sprint planning. Allow to make this 'automatic' or 'import once', so you can make sure that things in the goals do or don't change automatically.

- Allow this to link even to project or space level, to get a top level view of progress in total.

- Allow to add lists to a goal afterwards

- I accidentally clicked some lists twice, allow to remove them in the selection and possibly block duplicate selections. Removing them now removes all occurrences of that list.

- When you add lists or tasks to e.g. a euro budget, I would make two progress bars. One for the target of money, one for the task target. That would feel more logical I think.

- When setting a target in value, allow to overshoot to see how well we did. Currently max value is the target value.

- Allow to add a task or list to a goal from the list or task itself.

- Add a burndown chart, comments (but I saw those are already planned in the video I think)

- Allow to monitor resources, as I consider this a 'bundle' of work. I would like to see an overview for each staff involved in this how many hours of estimated effort goes in

Probably many more once we start using it :) Loving it so far! I think this is a great feature as it is.

Another task management app has the ability to prompt the person responsible for completion of a goal/project every Friday to post a textual update of the progress of the goal/project to the rest of the team, along with a "on track/at risk/off track" traffic light update. Even without that traffic light part, just an ability to comment at a goal-level and to be prompted to do so every Friday would be really useful for us. Some members of our team are non-technical and don't want to have to dive into lists of tasks to ascertain the progress towards a goal versus its due date. Having the person responsible for the goal update those members of the team each week just to say, "yes, we're on track here", or "we're about a week late on this goal" would be a really useful feature for us.

(From YouTube Comment) - If I create a goal that has 4 targets, and each is a list of to-dos, and each to-do has a time estimate... why can't ClickUp say, "ok, you have 200 hours left and 5 weeks before the goal deadline. You're right on schedule" - or use estimated hours done/estimated hours left as the % complete? One task might be huge and the other 9 tiny, and we did the huge one... but 10% done is not right at all!

Also interested in being able to add a task to a Goal from the task itself. Is this V2 planned as a fast-follow release or will it be a while before any of these improvements are implemented? The lack of this particular improvement makes the feature a lot less usable for my needs.

It would be nice to add tasks to a goal as a target from the task itself.

Currently you need to do this from the goals page.

Not sure if already been said- but just discovering this Goal thing and realizing I can't create the tasks from the goal itself- I have to have the tasks created in advance. Would like to be able to create the tasks I need when I create the goal.

There should be an option to set a date or time period after which the Goal automatically 'resets' to it's initial state. This way you could set your weekly goals for instance only once, get to work on them, and next week it resets back to zero. Adding to that, in this case, there should be a 'weekly' completion statistics to track your completion of those goals. Is just an example, but this tracking should happen for any time period you set your goal to reset to.

from support ticket: you should be able to associate tasks with goals that are not task-completion goals. e.g. if i'm doing a task related to a numeric goal i should be able to associate the task with that goal.

I want a goal, which shows me against my total tasks getting due today, how many I have completed today? And I have set due date as well of today only.

So, I have created a Goal for myself with due date as on date to ensure to see that all tasks getting due are getting completed on today. So in Goal, I have selected a task list that I want. Now, This task list has many tasks which are going to be due later by end of Feb and not as on today, still in my goals page, it shows me I am done with only 68% of tasks against the list against the total tasks, however they are not due today, they are going to be due later on date and not today so how to set this up?

Here are some thing I have gotten used to from other agile tools considering using goals as sprints. I would love too use them here too.

- When using goals as sprints, It’s not always that yon finnish all tasks in a sprint. Being able to move remaining (not completed) tasks from one sprint to another saves a lot of time.

- Estimated effort should be reflected per task in a target (estimated hours or agile points and why not custom values?) Not every task means equal effort.

- Setting maximum velocity (related to task-effort) for a goal when used as a sprint, reflecting the maximum effort that is to be planned in a sprint. Also display assigned vs. maximum effort to a goal (sprint).

- A split view where you drag and drop tasks from task lists to goals resided in a sidebar and at the same time see how much effort you have in a goal (sprint) would really be time-saving.

I'd like to suggest "reminders" in the form of alarms or notifications. Adding the option to track daily goals with no specific end-date would make me switch all my habits tracking from habitbul into clickup aswell!

Great update, I would really like it if a new task can be created right when creating the target. I addition to assigning an existing task, if you could also have the option to choose to add a new task that is then assigned to a chosen List and Target/Goal at the same time that would be a great addition.

1. Allow to group goals. For example we plan OKRs quarterly, so there is group Q1 2019, that contains several goals. And this group has progress indicator (avg of values of all goals in that group)

2. Allow to indicate goal as company goals with no specific assignee. It's mostly for top level goals.

3. Goal card view may be a bit cumbersome, if we have company goals, team goal and individual goals, it's impossible to navigate thru them. It would be great to have some hierarchial sturcture of goals.

2- Possibility to attach tasks to a Goal, but not influencing any Target. (Our usecase: in our today's OKR software initiatives/tasks can be connected to a Target/Goal, but do not influence the result of the Goal at all. One way this could be achieved in Clickup: Weighing the goal's targets from 0-100%. You then could use a Tasks-Target and weigh it low or at 0% for the overall outcome of a Goal. This could then reflect this well known situation: "True, we have worked hard, completed so many related tasks, but, unfortunately, we did not reach the goal at all")

It would be great if goals that contain tasks can also be viewed as a project or list and show somewhere on the left. This way you unlock the power of board/time/list view all within this goal. If this could then also be used in reporting/box view etc. that would help to determine workload plannning for e.g. sprint planning, which for me is the number 1 priority.

This essentially would be similar to having one list and adding tasks to multiple lists, except with this you have the option to still see the origin of the task.

I do like the goals as top-view, but for daily planning I think it still needs a bit more integration.

- Allow to dynamically create goals based on e.g. tags or custom fields. This would be powerful to track e.g. support tags, specific customers etc.

- Other thing, add it do the multi-task toolbar. That way you can quickly assign (multiple) tasks to goals!

- I would love to have the graphic btw also on each list/project, in list details. I like to see the progress.

- It would also be great to see progress based on estimates vs recorded time. Although that is more closely linked to reports I think.

- It would be great if under Goals you could open as well a list/board/time/gantt view. That way it acts more as a project, which basically gives you power to create custom components built from multiple tasks/lists.

- Would be great if that then could be used in reports as well.

This would combine the current power of clickup, but allow you to not only group tasks based on project/list, but also custom combinations in the form of goals.
